The dragon's lair

A personal collection of verse

望庐山瀑布 李白
日照香炉生紫烟
遥看瀑布挂前川
飞流直下三千尺
疑是银河落九天

Gazing at a Waterfall on Mount Lu

Li Bai


Sunlight streaming on Incense Stone kindles violet smoke;
far off I watch the waterfall plunge to the long river,
flying waters descending straight three thousand feet,
till I think the Milky Way has tumbled from the ninth height of Heaven.
